IPIECA, the global oil and gas industry association for advancing environmental and social performance, has appointed Equinor’s Morten Mikkelsen as its new Chair.
Morten brings nearly 40 years of oil and gas and energy industry experience to his new role at IPIECA, which he will carry out in conjunction with his current position at global energy company Equinor.
During his 13 years to date at Equinor, Morten has been in Vice President roles for major field development projects, field operations and with Corporate Sustainability in which he was part of the leadership team which built up a new corporate function for sustainability.
Prior to working at Equinor, Bergen-based Mikkelsen spent over 20 years at Norsk Hydro, which in 2007 merged with Equinor (known as Statoil at the time), where he managed petroleum technology for several fields at the Norwegian Continental Shelf and reservoir research teams, both with a special focus on improved oil recovery.
